John, this was the original post in the db forum. The other one was moved and you replied to it. I tried both because their were really two questions: one about where the Access default font came from and the second about how to set the Windows fonts (used to be in Display Properties). If Access did still use the Windows fonts then the second, if answered, would also satisfy the first. As I have replied in the other post it would have been useful to know if and how the Windows dispaly fonts can now be changed (Windows 7).
